Ippinka Japanese Face Towel

Buy on Amazon

The ippinka japanese face towel's superior materials makes sure that it ages well with use. This towel is very high quality, soft and absorbent yet thin and quick drying. It will snag on sharper objects easier than a dense pile loop. As far as shape and size, it is long and narrow. The fabric is incredibly strong, absorbent and quick-drying.

The loop pile side is sparse and less dense. This allows the fabrics natural absorbency to do just that absorb, unlike commercial fabric softeners which coat the fabric. One side is a super soft terry cloth, the other is a soft gauze type material. These towels are THIN, but they don’t need to be thicker.

Why We Like This:

Approximately 13.4 x 13.4" - made of 100% cotton
Awesome towels for a minimalist minded person
New and hot release
